I rushed across the room and swept her into my arms, holding her tight against my chest as my mouth sealed over hers. She let out a little whimper and tensed as if she was expecting the same violent kiss that I’d assaulted her with earlier.

Not this time. This time I’d do it right.

I’d tell her what I couldn’t tell her with my words.

When the anger didn’t come, she relaxed in my arms, her lips turning malleable and yielding to my control completely.

A thrill coursed through my blood at her submission. I loved when she fought me, but I loved soft and compliant Cait too.

I kissed her until we were both struggling for breath, her body gently rolling against mine as she searched for any sort of friction she could get.

Yes, Cait.

One hand trailed down her naked back as the other sank into her damp hair and I walked her back towards the bed. I lowered her gently, careful to support her head so she wasn’t hurt.

I stared down at her, looking for any sign she didn’t know what she was getting into. “Are you sure you want this?” I murmured as I stood to look at her laid out on the bedspread. If I’d thought she was beautiful before, she was fucking sublime now. If she said no, it might kill me, but I wanted her to be sure.

She nodded shyly, her cheeks taking on a faint pink tint.

“I’m gonna need verbal consent, Clover,” I told her, leaning over her with a hand on either side of her head.

“Yes, I want this. I want you.” She reached up, stroking one hand down the side of my face. “I think I always have.”

I couldn’t help the smile that turned up my lips.

I’d known she felt it too.

“You’re a virgin.” It wasn’t a question. I knew she’d not been seeing anyone, because if she had been, I might have lost my fucking mind.

There was that shy nod again.

“I’m not used to being gentle, Cait, but I will do my very best. Okay?”

Another nod.

“Words, Cait,” I growled. There could be no doubt in her mind, or mine, that she wanted this.

“I understand,” she confirmed.

“You have to tell me if I’m hurting you. Promise?”

“I promise.”

“Good.” I dropped a kiss on her nose and stood. We’d have to take this slow, but for the first time ever, I didn’t mind one bit. I wanted to take my time with her. I wanted to give her a memorable first experience. I wanted a piece of her to belong to me forever, even if it was selfish. Even if we could only have one night.

“Be right back,” I told her, slipping into the bathroom. I opened the drawer on the vanity and pulled out the box of condoms in there. I pulled one out, checking the expiration date.

Phew.

I wasn’t sure I had the patience to leave her and find a store that was open to buy any more.

I returned to find her lying in the exact same position I’d left her in. Her arms were wrapped around herself, covering her chest. Her knees pressed together tightly as if that would offer her some modesty.

I dropped the packet on the nightstand and moved back to her, gripping her knees and pulling them apart.

“Don’t hide from me,” I whispered, leaning down to place a kiss on the inside of her thigh.

She shuddered and let out a sigh, her knees falling open.
